Chef 'Slow Cooked' Wife's Body for Days: Cops

Chef 'Slow Cooked' Wife's Body for Days: Cops

– Investigators say a southern California chef has confessed he "slow cooked" his wife's body for days in 2009, then disposed of the
remains. "For some reason I just got violent,"

"I just slowly cooked it, and I ended up cooking her for four days," Viens said in a taped police interview played for the jury. He mixed what
remained with other waste and dumped it, reports the Los Angeles Times. Viens has pleaded not guilty; Dawn's body was never found.

Viens has pleaded not guilty to killing his wife, whose body was never found. After Viens learned investigators suspected he had killed her, he
jumped off the cliff -- feet first, hands extended over his head -- in Rancho Palos Verdes. That's how he ended up in the hospital, so severely
injured that he is attending his murder trial in a wheelchair.

Wait? The body of his wife has never been found despite her husband, the chef, giving 'details' where the skull was deposited?

David Viens' wife, Dawn Viens, disappeared in October 2009. In March 2011, David Viens told sheriff's investigators why they hadn't been able to
find the body of his wife, who'd been missing for nearly a year and half.

So, why is this story just coming out now? Why did the 'killer' basically turn himself in? And with no body and only on his own word why is he being
indited? For all the police really know - he's a nutball and she's on the run. There is NO body remember?

Something is way wrong here.

This is sounding fishy - sensationalist - and like another smoke bomb to keep us from focusing on what's really going on in the world.

Sure, blame me for passing it on - but honestly? I think there's more to this story that what the (purported) 'killer chef husband' is giving up.

Also, didn't I hear somewhere a new Hannibal (Silence of the Lambs) movie - or T.V series is coming out soon?

Yeah, like I said, something here smells fishy - or is terribly packed full of coincidence - right along with a nice bottle of Chianti.

I think it is..."all of the above"...unfortunately...and doesn't it make you wonder...who exactly is my partner...do I really know (him or her)?
I live in Seattle...and a man that had been married for 40 plus years...was a good neighbor and professed to love his wife...and in public they seemed
happy...went berserk one night and killed her.

We are seeing more of the deadly and atrocious acts now than ever before. But the internet and worldwide news feeds are also allowing us to see more
of them than ever before as well.

I remember when I was very young it was almost unheard of for a young child to be abducted, sexually assaulted and killed. Then came a few cases like
the Anton - Schussler (sp) murders, the Leopold and Loeb trial for kidnapping and killing a young boy just to see what it felt like. and then it got
worse as more and more such cases got reported every year. Now it is difficult to go a whole week without hearing of one.

Then we have the first reported case of a woman who was desperate for a child of her own to have cut the near full term baby from an acquaintance's
womb. It wasn't long until there were more of them.

I also remember the time before violent and deadly carjackings happened. Then the news reported a case or two and the thugs found a new way to get a
car for a crime or a joy ride without having to hot wire it.

I also remember a time not so long ago that the average westerner barely knew what Islam was. Now we see escalating violence by them all the time.

How recently? I have to ask of course.
Beyond that? You're oh so correct. We never really know the 'other people' in our life. But that being said? And even though I agree with you
and thank you for your input?

All of the above - yep. And I got shivers reading your post - I too remember each and every instance you listed.

So, not only is it the 'snowball' effect all this information rolling downhill at an astronomical speed - and right into our homes/computers?
But...dare I say some of these atrocities are...catchy? Talk about one heck of a computer 'virus'...

WHY NOW?

peace

The killing happened within this last year. (why now?) do you mean why do I think so many people are going berserk this year?

Yes, why is it just being released now? This weird and incomplete story?

It's like the part about how when he 'jumped off the cliff hands raised over his head and feet first'. What's the all about? Why add that info?
Who was there to see him or did this info come from him?

Too weird.

It screams DISTRACTION - or - adding to recent 'flesh eating' paranoia - or worse - a hit for this new Hannibal movie/series soon to be released.
(That I still have to research)...

I mean, didn't Yahoo just have an article a couple days ago about a big name Chef who was a technical adviser to the new movie/series giving his
input on what goes good with human meat? (I've got to go get that link to)!!!

Well we have studies which try to prove creativity is dropping in the US. Aren't like a third of the hits in the movies these days reruns that are
almost always worse than the original? I'm not sure...lost interest in much of anything outside of docu's and independent/foreign films long, long
ago.

The "zombie" meme has been around for a long time now. It's growing each year. I always thought of it as an unconscious expression of our inner
selves. We've become zombified, and need to know this is okay...hence the glorification of dark, spooky garbage.

These shows are trash, and act as a means to justify our crummy standstill existence. If we are not progressing...

Normally there would be nothing too unsettling to hear that chef Jose Andres has been hired as a culinary consultant, but when you realize it’s
for NBC’s upcoming Hannibal, and that the title character has a penchant for human flesh – well, it brings with it something far more
chilling

I would, i hear it taste like pork

but in all seriousness, possibly the zombie Revelation apoco

Could be, but TPTB may have more spices in this pot roast

Your are very right and that is why people cooked as food has a name like Long Pig!
Long Pig Now my question is simple this nutter is a a chef ergo did he serve any
of his wife to the client-el before deposing of the remains?
